CHAPTER 237
"You're here for the first time, so I have to make sure we meet properly. As for that mysterious friend, who knows, maybe we both know them." As he said this, he was almost certain that this woman had brought Thomasalong. He felt a bit nervous inside; it seemed she had quite the influence to get that guy, who wanted nothing to do with anything, to come here. It must have taken some effort. He turned to study her face, trying to figure out what was going on, but he knew he couldn't read her mind. He had no idea what method she used to summon him."The start time is approaching, and it lookslike people are trickling in outside. I'll take a seat now; feel free to join me whenever you like." This felt a bit like she was taking charge, and the secretary beside her looked a bitanxious. Samuel thought to himself, "This is interesting." The strong presence she exuded was something he hadn't noticed before.Sure enough, he saw Marcus leisurely taking his seat. Even though he was just next t
CHAPTER 236
Marcus arrived at the company once again and noticed that there were noticeably more people than there had been just a couple of days ago. It seemed that the upcoming shareholders' meeting was drawing everyone in. He heard that the chairman had confirmedattendance, and the meeting was set to start at 11:00 AM. With only an hour to go, the shareholders who had caught wind of the news were already gathering. Marcus raised an eyebrow at this development. It appeared that this woman had managed to maintain a strong grip on the company in his absence.Originally, she had acquired Veritas Group's shares, making her the largest shareholder, with Marcus in second place. Now that he had returned, her position as the second shareholder was firmly secured."Mr. Marcus, I sent the relevant list to your email last night. Did you receive it?"The secretary appeared early in the morning, and Nathan noticed the slight dark circles under her eyes. She hadn't seemed to work late the night before."I r
CHAPTER 235
Thomas nodded slightly at the person in front of him, indicating his agreement with her words. Emily, having finished her tasks, felt a bit awkward as there was no more conversation to be had. It seemed like itIt was time for her to leave."Mr. Brown, your help this time has been invaluable. I promise I'll keep my word so that l won't take up any more of your time," she said.Suddenly, Lawrence remembered the shareholder meeting scheduled fortomorrow."Feel free to participate in the shareholder meeting. I might drop by to take a look," he replied, unsure whether he was attending to support someone or simply out of curiosity."We would certainly welcome your presence," Emily responded with a smile. Thomas pressed a button on the desk phone, and Miss Hutton stepped out to prepare a cup of tea. She had been waiting long enough, and it was time to bring Emily along."Let's wrap up our discussion here. Youcan come in now," he called out. Miss Hutton, feeling a bit bored waiting outside
CHAPTER 234
"Actually, Mr. Marcus is quite capable in his work, and his performance in the company has been evident. It's just that his fluctuating shares might cause some trouble for us." After saying this, Emily nervously watched Thomas' expression, afraid to make even the slightest mistake. If he got upset, her company could be taken away from her at any moment."You don't need to worry about this. You are the appointed executive director of the company, and there won't be any changes in the short term." But who could guarantee what would happen in the long run? Thomas certainly couldn't. He had his own thoughts on the matter. He was pleased to see Marcus seeking revenge and was eager to enjoy the results of that revenge.Emily picked up on Thomas's implication. The phrase "in the short term" stung her; what did that really mean? Wouldn't she lose her position as executive director and the company itself in just six months? She had initially agreed to their acquisition to help the company reac
CHAPTER 233
Emily had been restless ever since she learned that Marcus had returned to the company. She regretted her past decision to prioritize short-term gains, which led to the partnership with Inner Grand Corporation and effectively turned her company into a subsidiary. Now, it was hard to backtrack, so she decided to take a different approach and speak with someone higher up. She had already reassured the shareholders on her side, but now she needed to find Thomas and meet with him face-to-face. She wanted to ask him about that contract from years ago and how he had casually transferred the shares to someone else—his ex-husband, no less. As she walked into the Titanex cooperation building, she couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for choosing this place. She had completely forgotten that he still worked here. "Hello, how can I assist you today?" The receptionist at the large corporation was different—her warm and beautiful inquiry eased some of Emily's anxiety. "Hi, l'm here to se
CHAPTER 232
"Have you noticed something strange?That person could be the largest shareholder now, and it won't be long before..." Samuel was quite the gossip, and the older employee next to him nodded knowingly. Everyone knew that the old man's return was no small matter,especially since he had become the biggest shareholder in the company. It was obvious what that meant."It's odd, though. Our company hasn't had any major stock sell-offs or anything. How did that person suddenly become our largest shareholder?"Becoming the largest shareholder isn't aneasy feat."Don't you know? It's Mr. Brown! He personally gave up his shares. You might not be aware of the struggles our company has faced. We were merged with another company halfway through, and our chairman is just an executive director now.""That's true. I almost forgot. After all, the Veritas Group has never really taken our little company seriously. We rarely have any contact, just a name on paper. I didn't expect their shares to pack su
